  • History of F1 – 1990S
    History of F1 – 1990s Welcome to Sidepodcast’s History of F1. So far, the development of the Formula 1 World Championships has been pretty much about the cars, with a few squabbles between drivers along the way. The 1990s saw some real star talent emerging, with personalities both loveable and not so much. The 1990s were a year of change, innovation, tragedy and triumph. Team Williams introduced the first car, designed by Patrick Head, to have a semi‐automatic gearbox and traction control, but reliability was still a major problem. Eventually, Williams managed to conquer their mechanical troubles, and added more computer‐control to the car, leading to success in the next couple of years. Williams took the championship in '92 and '93, with Nigel Mansell and then Alain Prost, who had just returned from a season off. Michael Schumacher joined the Formula 1 circuit in 1991, qualifying 7th on his debut for Team Jordan, although he didn’t get past the first lap. Just one race later, he defected to Benetton. With the major players of previous seasons now retired, Schumacher was the main rival for Ayrton Senna, but it was not going to be easy. The points system changed in 1990 so that all Formula 1 races were included in the championship and a win would gain you 10 points rather than 9 points. The FIA also declared that the driver aids, such as traction control, were having a negative impact on the impression of F1. Where was the driver skill? So, the aids were banned, despite Formula 1 getting more and more exciting.

  • Series Omnibus History of F1 – 1900S to 1940S
    History of F1 – Series Omnibus This is Sidepodcast’s mini series – History of F1. The following seven shows were originally released over seven consecutive days, covering the history of the sport from the 1900s all the way up to the present day. This omnibus now gathers all the shows up together in one, for easy listening. Enjoy. History of F1 – 1900s to 1940s Welcome to Sidepodcast’s History of F1. This series will take us back to the beginning of the 20th century, when Formula 1 was all about honour, it was a gentleman’s sport, and it mostly involved getting to the end of the road without falling in a pothole. We’ll travel through time (not literally, of course), to see how Formula 1 became the corporate and money‐orientated sport that it is today. The F1 championship, and all the official records, date back to the 1950s, but the essence of F1 can be traced all the way back to the early 1900s. Back then it involved heavy cars. Drivers would be accompanied by a mechanic because reliability was such a problem, and the track was just a simple road in France. I say simple, but actually, the races were long and tough. The first proper motor race was called the Paris‐Bordeaux because… well, it went from Paris to Bordeaux. It was 1200km, and the winner achieved it in 48 hours. Average speeds were a rocketing 29.9 miles per hour. 1901 saw the first race with Grand Prix in the title, the French Grand Prix, taking place at Le Mans.

Was it really 30 years ago that the Indy cars (or USAC cars as they were then known) came to Britain for the fi rst time? The British weather did its best to spoil John Webb’s great initiative and the fi rst three days were bedevilled by rain so that the race had to be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. But when they raced they did not disappoint with AJ Foyt, an Indianapolis legend if ever there was one, charging through from the fi fth row of the grid in his Coyote-Ford to be challenging Rick Mears in the Penske- Cosworth PC6 for the lead when the rain returned and the race was suspended. On the restart there was no stopping Anthony Joseph who surged past Rick into Stowe within a couple of laps and stayed ahead until the rain returned for a second time and that was that. Here we see the great man heading into the Woodcote chicane on his way to one of his rare wins in Europe. The small matter of the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours (with Dan Gurney) was the other.

  • An Interview with the Champion: Fernando Alonso
    An interview with the champion: Fernando Alonso An interview with the 2005 World Champion, the youngest ever, Fernando Alonso. Fernando, think back to the last lap in Brazil. You are on the verge of becoming World Champion. What’s going through your mind? I was thinking about the tyres! They were on the limit, and the priority was to get through that lap. I remember asking my engineer Rod how far behind Michael Schumacher was. I didn’t want to lose third place in the final few metres. But I had a 12 second gap, so it was quite easy to manage. Of course, I started hearing funny noises. I was praying it wouldn’t rain. And then, finally, I saw the last corner… The first thing you did on the radio was to thank the team. Was that important to you? For sure, it was fundamental. In Formula 1, nothing happens by chance, and if I managed to achieve my dream this year, it is because several hundred people have worked relentlessly behind the scenes. Everybody, from the technical directors to the people in the machine shop, has given that little bit extra that made the difference. So I told them over the radio: we are all champions. I meant it. Then you said another thank you in China… Yes. I didn’t think anything could match Brazil. I was wrong… Describe the podium in Sao Paulo. What were your feelings when you saw the team and the board saying ‘World Champion’…? When I got out of the car, in parc fermé, I saw the whole team and the pit-board up above, saying ‘Fernando, World Champion.’ It was fantastic.
